  • Patent number: 9611366
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing a fluoropolymer hybrid organic/inorganic composite comprising: (i) partially hydrolyzing and/or polycondensing, in the presence of an aqueous medium, a metal compound of formula (I): X4-mAYim, wherein X is a hydrocarbon group, Y is a hydrolysable group selected from the group consisting of an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group and a hydroxyl group, A is a metal selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti and Zr, and m is an integer from 1 to 4, so as to obtain an aqueous medium comprising a pre-gelled metal compound comprising one or more inorganic domains consisting of ?A-O-A? bonds and one or more residual hydrolysable groups Y [compound (M)], and then (ii) reacting in the molten state at least a fraction of hydroxyl groups of a functional fluoropolymer [polymer (F)] with at least a fraction of hydrolysable groups Y of said pre-gelled metal compound [compound (M)], so as to obtain a fluoropolymer hybrid organic/inorganic composite.

  • Publication number: 20050070655
    Abstract: There is described a composite composition comprising a layered mineral and at least one polymer precursor which is substantially miscible therewith; characterised in that: (i) the composition and/or polymer precursor are polymerisible by radiation to form a polymeric composition; and/or (ii) the polymer precursor comprises a polymer obtained and/or obtainable by polymerisation with radiation. Further described are composite compositions comprising a layered mineral and intercalated therein at least one polymer which is further polymerisable by radiation to form a polymeric network, such as a polymeric coating. Preferred minerals are nanoclays such a montmorillonite in which the counter cation comprises a radiation curable organo functional group covalently bonded thereto (e.g. an acrylate functional onium ion). Processes for making the composites are also described.
